All Your Hyperlinks Are Belong To Us
2012-02-19
Canadian universities have signed an agreement that allows Access Copyright access to employee correspondence in searching for copyright violations. The most idiotic aspect of this particular agreement is that sending someone a hyperlink is considered equal to photocopying a document.

If you work at these universities and send someone a link to an article, it is just like photocopying the article and giving it to them.

Be careful out there, Canadians.
